This awesome desktop setup made its appearance at Pepcom 2018, a major technology networking event where loads of products and companies were being showcased, and it was engineered by Cemtrex Incorporated. Based in Farmingdale, New York, Cemtrex Inc. is a diverse, world-leading technology company that drives innovation in a broad range of sectors including smart technology, VR and AR, advance electronic systems, and industrial solutions. The SmartDesk is a massive combination of incredible productivity software and futuristic hardware that is meant to reinvent the personal workspace and deliver the next generation desktop experience. Our CEO and I tested it out at Pepcom and we were instantly star struck.

The Cemtrex Smart Desk is built, firstly, with three 24 inch monitors each with multi-touch technology. This means it has 72 inches of high-res, multi-touch displays. The Smart Desk also has an integrated document scanner, a built-in digital keyboard and a multi-touch input trackpad which is pretty cool. But that is not all; it also has a digital phone and webcam that integrates with most VOIP providers. Along with wireless smartphone charging and connectivity, the Smart Desk has powered by Windows PC with 8th Gen Intel Core i7 technology. As predicted, the Smart Desk is programmed with STARK Gesture system for touch, touchless and stylus control. STARK GESTURE SYSTEM, meaning you can literally work just like Tony Stark in Iron Man. I’ll just let that sink in…

The best part is that this desktop is all connected with ONE…SINGLE…WIRE. Unbelievable, I know!

In a press release, Cemtrex’s CEO and Chairman, Saagar Govil, stated that “with the SmartDesk we intend to transform and disrupt the $500 billion annual PC market globally, as it will streamline workflows, improve productivity with its many features, and provide superior multitasking capabilities for the most demanding professionals.” He also stated that “The SmartDesk brings the desktop experience into the 21st century. Between 2007 and 2017, there were over 1 billion desktops shipped worldwide ,which could be replaced with the SmartDesk, thus creating a massive potential market for the SmartDesk. Due to the strong interest, we are optimistic that Cemtrex’s SmartDesk could become the leading industry standard for the modern workspace.”

I don’t know what else you want me to say here, we are basically looking at the future right now. For someone who’s a fan of Iron Man, I have always thought how cool it would be to have technology as advanced as Tony Stark and now we have that experience. We may not be able to build Iron Suits like Tony but this is definitely closer to greatness in technology. The world is definitely ready for the Smart Desk. The Cemtrex Smart Desk is coming soon with a price of $4000, installation services included, and it is available for preorder at smartestdesk.com.

Mon, 17 Aug 2015 01:12:12 +0000http://calixtechnews.com/2015/08/2015816windows-10-review/On July 29th of this year Microsoft made windows 10 operating system available for free download for windows 7 and windows 8 users. Outside of a few exclusions, windows users were prompted to reserve the free update several weeks in advance of the release. Now instead of two disjointed operating systems like you had in windows 8, windows 10 is well conceived and is everything windows 8 was supposed to be.

Once installed windows 10 is very similar to windows 7 with the return of the traditional start menu, except now with the live tiles first introduced in windows 8. Another change made to the start menu is how customizable it is now. You can add or remove tiles, rearrange them, or even resize the start menu itself which is convenient. Another great idea that I imagine translates well into windows tablets is the new settings feature. Settings, not a replacement for the control panel, is just a shortcut for those of us already accustomed to making changes through the control panel and a very user friendly option for those who aren’t.

The windows store apps are now universal and can run on the desktop instead of just the tile system which makes use of them less frustrating. The overall desktop experience has become a lot more intuitive. These apps you can mix and match with other windows software purchased or downloaded of the web. All these programs can now be used in a brand new feature called virtual desktops which allows users to simulate the use of several monitors for the sake of productivity.

Two other new features are Cortana, the voice activated personal assistant and Microsoft’s answer to Apples Siri, and Microsoft Edge. Edge, once known as project Spartan, is the replacement for internet explorer and a welcome one at that. A vast improvement to internet explorer, Edge features a new rendering engine, a reading mode that helps with screen clutter, and full integration with Cortana. Cortana works better the more you use it, learning and gaining experience over time, how to better serve you.

In all Windows 10 is a vast improvement to its predecessor. The changes aren’t just cosmetic but conceptual and a win for Microsoft. Far from flawless, it is still much better than windows 8 and worth the download.
